Welcome to My PCOS Info and thank you for stopping by.
The purpose of this website is to share information about Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and Insulin Resistance (IR) with those who may need it. There are some 200 pages here, grouped under the headings above and many more on the way. I hope you find the information you are looking for and if you don’t – please drop me a line via the “Leave a Comment” box at the bottom of each page or send an email to
and I will be happy to put something up. Chances are it’s already on my to-do list and I can just bump it up a few notches.
Some good places to start are:
PCOS Cheat Sheet – A One Page Plan of Attack
My Background
I found out that I had PCOS in 2003 after having suspected it for several years. I’d been to several doctors over that time but had not been able to persuade them to order the necessary tests as I didn’t fit the typical PCOS profile back then. Over the last few years I have read most of the primary research on PCOS, its causes, treatments and effects on our bodies. Over that time I have found out some very interesting and exciting information which has given me hope in controlling the problem. I’ve even started importing a nutritional supplement called d-chiro inositol which has helped me enormously. If you have PCOS or insulin resistance, then I urge you to learn more about DCI. It is available for sale through this website to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom, India, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, Trinidad, Brazil, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Scotland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Israel, Croatia, Romania . It may be possible to send it to other countries as well, so if your country is not mentioned just drop me a line and I will look into it for you.
I feel very blessed that I have a background in science and health which has given me the tools to learn about this confusing and distressing disorder. I can’t imagine how I would cope if I didn’t have this knowledge and I want to share what I have learned with other women who may have need of the information. That’s what this site is all about.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Information 
Thank you for an enjoyable read. I was searching for blogs about New Zealand on Bing and your website came up on search results. I’ve bookmarked your site so that I can come back and read more when I have time. Thanks very much.
Good post, I favorited your blog so I can visit again in the near future, All the Best
Wonderful write-up! I was looking for some thing completely different when I came across your website. I completely enjoyed and thought what you place into this writting. i will bookmark to return later.
Anne,
I am looking to source your web page for a pathology report is it ok if I just have your first name for author or would you like me to add your last name?
Hi Joy,
I believe the accepted method of referencing webpages is just to provide the URL and the date the information was retrieved, however, you are welcome to use my first name or first and surname, whichever you prefer.
I am glad the information is of use to you.
Kind regards,
Anne
hi, iam from greece. i would like to order d chiro inositol. can you send it to greece?
Yes, Virginia, I have several customers in Greece. I look forward to receiving your order.
I’m not contacting you for information about PCOS but rather Psoriasis. Your website was referred from another website that discussed Psoriasis. Perhaps you may not have much information concerning the effects that D-Chiro-Inositol. But if you do would you be kind enough to Email me at pgo301@hotmail.com. I’m mostly concerned about the success rate and if there is validity in what people are saying about the impact that DCI has on Psoriasis?
Thank You,

There does appear to be a link between insulin resistance and psoriasis. I have quite a few customers who buy DCI for psoriasis rather than PCOS, some of whom have been buying it for over 3 years, so I can only assume that it works or they would likely have stopped buying it years ago. I’m not aware of any significant studies that have been done on the subject, but there do seem to be quite a few psoriasis sufferers following a low-carb/insulin sensitiser protocol with varying degrees of success.
hello,
I m from india .I like this blog because i got very good information about PCOS.Thanks a lot………
Hello. I recently found out I have PCOS. Because I’m not trying to conceive the doctor recommended I take birth control pills to regulate my period. I’m trying to eat healthy and exercise. Can I take DCI while I’m on the pill, will dci work the same while taking the pill?
Rozanne
Hi Rozanne,
It’s perfectly OK to take DCI and the pill at the same time. They have separate mechanisms of action so they don’t interfere with each other. Good on you for eating well and exercising. Research shows that they are the two most important things you can do to keep PCOS from developing nasty complications down the track. You can purchase DCI from the My PCOS Info Shop.
I hav pcos…….pls pls pls pls pls……i need it…..i read u can tke myo inositol and d-chiro-inositol…..jst fr a bettr result, i dnt knw how tru dat is bt I cnt find any of dem anywhere in nigeria. So can u pls help? I’m actively tryin to concieve so its important. Thank u
Hi Sara,
You can buy both myo-inositol and d-chiro inositol from My PCOS Info
I take DCI religiously and it has helped me tremendously. I take myoinositol sporadically, I’ll take it for a few months, then stop because I don’t notice any benefit from it. I’m taking it again as a study last year found it offered additional benefits to just taking DCI by itself. N-acetylcysteine may also be helpful for you if you are trying to conceive. Both DCI and NAC have been found to be at least as effective as metformin in the treatment of PCOS.
If you have any more questions, just let me know.
Best wishes,
Anne
May i also add……I’m exercising n also using metformin…..tried clomid and it didn’t work….tried it 3 times and each tym increased d dosage from….50mg to 100 nd den 150. Since den i jst gave up. Tried fertilaid too bt dint work. It just stopped AF completely….even tho i had been irregular. So now I’m jst frustrated…..using metformin, omega 3,6,9, folic acid, vitD n Zinc. Jst stumbled on ur website while doin a lil resrch on wt my next step wuld b. I’d luv to gt inositol n appeciate any advice u myt hav.
Hi Sara,
Your regime sounds good. I would definitely suggest you look into d-chiro inositol and myo-inositol as well as N-acetyl cysteine. Green tea also has a lot of benefits for PCOS, but not as specifically as the inositols and NAC.
All the best,
Anne
Hi, I tried almost all pills….
And they work, but they work only short period of time… then I get complications :(… then I have to stop taking the pills …
But what I discovered is that exercises are doing magic for me. I have started to drive bycicle almost every day, with longer tours during the weekends…during the winter time I swim in the pool…and all my PCOS side effect are now much smaller.
But I really work out.
So i advise all with PCOS to try to exercises, but to do it frequently and hard. it helped me a lot!
That is excellent advice and well supported by all the research into PCOS. Whether you are lean or overweight, exercise is crucial to managing the insulin resistance that is the cause of most PCOS symptoms.
I have PCOS too, i was on metformin for 2 years and i started getting my periods but after an year again my cycles became irregular so my doc increased the dosage to 1500mg. i started getting periods for sometime and now it stopped again. I read about Myo inositol and asked my doctor about it. She said its OK to take it and i can also add metformin + follic acid with it. I have brought APCOD Obis Powder which has Myo inositol(2g) D Chiro inositol(50mg) and Vitamin D3(1000UI). Taking it 2 times a day but not sure how much it is going to help me.I hope it is effective than metformin.
Hiya do you still sell inositol?
Hi Martina, yes I do still sell d chiro inositol, also now myoinositol and a few other things. See http://www.mypcos.info/1/shop
You’re blog has been a great for me, it helped me consolidate information i was getting elsewhere and pull it together. Not to mention i was able to order DCI which i couldnt find locally. Thank you!!
